Bairstow smashed 73 from 41 balls as England made 175 for eight, but that was chased down by New Zealand with 16 balls to spare.
The pick of the home side’s bowling attack was 18-year-old Rehan Ahmed, making his debut on home soil after his rapid rise over the winter.
But England, whose evening ended with 16 balls unbowled as Luke Wood mis-fielded to gift the winning runs, will need to sharpen up. Jacks, who would later nick Ish Sodhi for 16 to complete a quiet series, was confined to rotating the strike as his partner accounted for 43 of the first 50 runs. Livingstone and Ahmed both cleared the ropes before the end but it was a largely tame end after Bairstow’s explosive start.
The target quickly looked considerably closer than it had done at the break, but a double breakthrough soon rebalanced the scales.
